srimathe ramanujaya nama:
Dear bhagavathas,
In thiruvallikeni, Sri Thennacharya Srivaishnava Sripadam Thangigal Sabha is engaged
in a number of kainkaryams such as regular:
* Sripadham thanguthal for Perumal, Thayar, Azhwar, Acharyargal veethi purapadu and purapadu inside temple
* Ensuring all vaahanams,kedayams, etc are in proper shape for utsavams and daily requirements
* Organizing Annual Ekadina 4000 parayanam event
* etc.
Some of the vahanams are in bad shape such as
* punnai mara vahanam
Punnai mara vahanam is used during
brahmotsavam 1st
day evening purappadu for parthasarathi and narasimhar. It is also used
during uriyadi utsavam (day following srijayanthi) when both parthasarathi
and kutti kannan come out in purappadu (photos of both utsavams are there in
our gallery).
* chinna ther
Chinna thEr is used for emperumanar, andal, mamunikal
on the 9th day of utsavam and also on sapthavaranam day for parthasarathi
and azhagiya singar.
* Periya vahanam thandu (wooden block on which the vahanams are mounted)
These have been in very bad condition and need a lot of work (in some cases
need to get new ones). For example, Chinna ther was not used in 90% of the
utsavams in the past few years (it always end up being a veedhi purapadu in
small pallakku - kedayam instead of thEr).
The sabhai have sthapathis already working on some of the kainkaryams.
Thandu has also been bought (approximate 1lakh project) and is put in
a pond in kanchipuram for the wood to mature (it will be there in water
for a few months after which it needs to be shaped and polished).
The total estimate so far for these 3 kainkaryams put together comes close
to 21lakhs. There are some committed donors but it is a large project so
we still need a big portion of the total estimate.
Kindly engage in these kainkaryams so it pleases sriya:pathi,
azhwargal,
and acharyargal in the fullest possible way as it facilitates all the utsavams
to happen smoothly without interruption by sriya:pathi's causeless grace.
